Mr Matthew J Fyfe
MeritOI is a process and measurement platform that dissolves the silos between the functions and tools of a product delivery ecosystem. It works by making the process explicit as a single shared structure that every function, tool and sensor feeds execution data into. Across industries from agriculture to construction, telemetry is now built into the tools people already use, but that data goes unused or stays siloed, locally to where its produced. Merit aggregates that data against the process. Now, the same picture lets an executor learn how to improve, lets their employer evaluate performance, and lets planning, coordination and optimisation run on measured reality instead of on the guesswork, memory and averages each silo works from today.

EntroMetrix
Through a unique and proprietary solution based on physics-informed machine learning, our software optimises industrial and manufacturing processes. The actual complexity of said processes is incredibly difficult for traditional tools to comprehend fully. Our cutting-edge product is able to model this complexity, uncover hidden efficiencies and build digital twins to support you in decision-making and best operational practice.

Connected Manufacturing Systems & Workflow Automation
We help manufacturers replace disconnected spreadsheets and systems by connecting sales, purchasing, stock, production, quality, traceability and finance. Our phased solution reduces manual work and errors and delivers better visibility, automation, dashboards, training and support.
Ascentis AI — Self-Hosted AI Systems for Manufacturers
Ascentis AI is a UK applied-AI consultancy for engineering and manufacturing SMEs. We build working AI systems across five areas: market intelligence, sales performance, innovation and product development, service excellence, and operational efficiency.
Our approach is deliberately practical. We go into the business, identify the AI use cases with genuine commercial value, write a bespoke specification and quotation, then build and deploy the system. Everything runs self-hosted on the client's own infrastructure — no data is sent to third-party AI APIs, which matters for manufacturers handling proprietary designs, customer IP or defence-adjacent work.
We also develop our own products. The first, Ascentis Cortex, is a self-hosted support intelligence engine that runs the technical-support lifecycle — capture, triage and resolution — trained on the client's own products, with every answer traceable to source.
Deployed on your infrastructure. Owned by your team. Measured by results.

xLytix
xLytix connects fragmented manufacturing data across ERP, MES, machines, quality, maintenance and operations, creating trusted, governed data for operational analytics, planning, AI-assisted insights and faster decision-making.xLytix is a unified data and operational intelligence platform designed to help manufacturers get more value from their existing data and technology investments.
It brings together data integration, transformation, modelling, data quality, governance, analytics, planning, digital data capture and AI-assisted investigation in a single environment.
Manufacturers can use xLytix to address practical challenges such as production performance, OEE, downtime, quality and defects, asset utilisation, maintenance, capacity, inventory, planning and operational reporting.
xLytix works alongside existing ERP, MES, databases, cloud platforms, spreadsheets and BI tools rather than requiring organisations to replace them. This allows manufacturers to start with a specific operational challenge and progressively build a trusted, connected data foundation across the organisation.
A key focus is making manufacturing data usable by more people. Business and operational users can access governed KPIs and analytics, investigate performance and ask questions of their data using natural language, while technical teams retain the controls required for data quality, lineage, security and governance.
xLytix can be deployed incrementally, making it suitable for manufacturers at different stages of their digital transformation journey.

Energy Monitoring for Craft Breweries
Sub-metered monitoring of a brewery's major electricity users, with readings every 30 seconds. AI flags waste at equipment level and costs it in £ and CO2e automatically. We then work with the site to actively fix issues, delivering real, metered savings, not just alerts.
